Hi michelle
Firstly can i take this opportunity to welcome you to the club (nt a
club you want to join lol). I remember when i got mine implanted 4
th july 2008. never been more nervous in my life... i remember
praying throughout the op yet at the same time there was this little
thing in me which actually wanted me to have this thing. perhaps its
the feling of being unique compared to the rest of the normal
people.. since that day i can tell you ive had 11 appropriate shocks
in total. certainly not a pleasant feelin especially if you have
more than 2 at time. But hey all is not bad considering its like a
guardian angel. The ICD tries to correct ur abnormal heartbeat a few
times prior to it shocking you.
for the first week or so obviously it uncomfortable having an icd
especially when going to bed but as time goes by you wont be able to
tell you have one unless if it shcks you. but dont worry im a
natural born disaster anywway.... im prone to eing unlcky so im juat
an exception. hope this helps lol and goog luck. im sure you`ll be
fine
